Minnesota Layette Set

A Free Crochet Pattern Pack

I'm Bringing over another pattern (or three) from the Crochetvolution files. I debated on if I would divide this one up or not but I decided to keep them together. I am making them available in my Ravelry Store as an ebook download. And it is huge coming in at 6 pages. It is also here on the blog so just keep scrolling down to read the pattern.Ravelry Store

Note: Every two rows you will be switching colors.
If you want to keep the long sc as the same color underneath it you will
make 2 rows one color then switch. If you would like to have the long
sc a
different color than what is underneath start with one color, in row 2 switch colors, then start switching
colors every 2 rows.

Special StitchesPopcorn stitch: make 4 dc in space indicated, sl st into first of 4 dc madeLong sc: In the indicated stitch make a sc in post of stitch
indicated in pattern (usually two or three rows down), pulling your
strings up to meet the row you are working in making the sc long. Skip
the st in the row you are working that you would normally work in(unless the pattern says otherwise like in the hat pattern).

4 comments:

Not sure on Row 1 of blanket, sweater. Always start projects with x amount of chains and go from there on Row 1. Not familiar with starting a project with Make 32 fdc. Please clarify and explain. Thank you the set is beautiful.

About Me

I love to create! Most of the time that means crocheting, but l also knit and embroider, really anything that makes me think and use my hands I love to do. I started designing my own crochet patterns in 2009 but I did not start writing them down till about 2011. I had no idea that people would find my ideas interesting. I've recently started adding knitting patterns and embroidery tutorials to the blog also.
My Family and I live just south of Kansas City. My husband is a preacher at a local church. We have two Daughters that I often refer to as The Puzzle Queen and Sweet Pea.
I'm excited to share with you what I am working on and my thoughts on crafting.
